OK, so the weather may be changing today, but we’ve had a few great weeks of sunshine and the tourists have started to arrive in earnest.

No better time then for a soiree to welcome the summer season. Kirby’s Brogue Inn invited people involved in the tourist industry in Tralee for an evening of food and entertainment and also launched their summer season of entertainment, where they will have live music seven nights a week.

With a wonderful hot and cold buffet, trad music and great company, the guests really enjoyed it and hopefully they’ll all have a busy season ahead. Scroll down for photos…
